The Joy of Laughter

By Emily, Founder of Wild Sauna

Every week at our wild sauna experience in Hampshire, the sound I treasure most isn’t steam or splashing water –  it’s laughter.

Why We Laugh in the Sauna

The sauna soothes, the plunge shocks, and laughter bursts out. Research shows laughter reduces stress hormones, boosts endorphins, and strengthens immunity. Paired with sauna and cold water therapy, it’s a natural antidepressant.

Men’s Nights, Women’s Nights, Social Sessions

At men’s evenings, honest conversations unfold. At women’s sessions, the Hampshire air fills with joyful shrieks. At social sessions, strangers leave as friends. Laughter is the bridge.

Why Joy Is Health

Health is often portrayed as hard work. But laughter is medicine. Guests arrive carrying stress and leave lighter.

If you can’t remember the last time you giggled, maybe it’s time to book a sauna and plunge.
